2.2 COMMITTED TO HIS PURPOSE

Mary was not called because she was extraordinary; she became extraordinary because she answered the call! Because Mary accepted this call and embraced her purpose, she helped make sure the entire world got a chance to hear the gospel.

God wants to use us to reach the world with the gospel as well! We may feel like we are just ordinary people and, therefore, not capable of doing great things for God. Perhaps we feel like because we are only junior or senior high students we don’t have the maturity or influence we need to help spread the gospel. None of that is true, though. In fact, many Bible scholars believe Mary was about your age when she became pregnant with Jesus! If Mary could have that kind of impact on the world, so can you. Even though it will cost us to be used for Jesus’ purpose, there is great reward in it. Do you want to be highly favored like Mary was? That is what Jesus wants for you.
